Xponential Fitness Inc. Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
On May 8, 2025, Xponential Fitness, Inc. (NYSE: XPOF), a prominent global franchisor of boutique health and wellness brands, announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. Despite facing a slight revenue decline, the company showcased robust system-wide sales growth and outlined its strategic focus moving forward.
1. Financial Highlights: A Closer Look
Revenue Performance
Xponential reported total revenue of $76.9 million, marking a 4% decrease compared to $79.7 million in the same period last year. This decline was attributed to a decrease in service, merchandise, and equipment revenues, which offset gains in franchise and marketing fund revenues.
Sales Growth and Unit Performance
In a positive note, the company experienced an 18% increase in North America system-wide sales, totaling $466.8 million. Despite a dip in same-store sales growth, which fell to 4% from 9% in the previous year, the quarterly average unit volume (AUV) improved to $659,000, up from $609,000.
Losses and Adjusted Metrics
Xponential recorded a net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.10 per basic share, a slight improvement from a net loss of $3.8 million or $0.29 per share in Q1 2024. Adjusted net loss for the quarter stood at $7.7 million, translating to an adjusted loss of $0.20 per share, a stark contrast to the adjusted net income of $9.2 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA also saw a decline, reported at $27.3 million, which is down 9% from $29.9 million in Q1 2024.
2. Operational Insights
CEO Mark King expressed optimism regarding the company’s performance, stating, “Xponential delivered results in line with our expectations this quarter, supported by solid KPIs.” He highlighted the successful completion of an updated financing agreement and significant progress on renewing Franchise Disclosure Documents. King reiterated the company’s commitment to a franchisee-first strategy and anticipation for more insights during the upcoming Analyst & Investor Day.
3. Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, Xponential reported approximately $42.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, alongside $379.1 million in total long-term debt. The company generated $5.8 million in net cash from operating activities during the quarter.
4. 2025 Outlook: Revised Guidance
In light of current performance, Xponential has adjusted its guidance for global net new studio openings, now projecting between 160 to 180 openings, a decrease of 29% at the midpoint. However, the company reaffirmed its expectations for system-wide sales, total revenue, and adjusted EBITDA for the full year, as outlined below:
- System-wide sales: Targeting $1.935 billion to $1.955 billion, an increase of 13% at the midpoint.
- Total revenue: Expected to remain stable in the range of $315.0 million to $325.0 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA: Anticipated to range from $120.0 million to $125.0 million, reflecting a 5% increase at the midpoint.
Additional assumptions for the year include a tax rate in the mid-to-high-single digits and a projected share count of 34.8 million shares for earnings calculations.
5. Looking Ahead
Xponential Fitness is navigating a transitional phase as it refines its operational strategies amid fluctuating financial metrics. The company remains optimistic about its trajectory, focusing on franchisee support and brand expansion. Investors and stakeholders eagerly await further insights during the forthcoming conference call, set for later today, where detailed discussions on the financial results and future plans will take place.
